Welcome to the heartbeat of Tokyo in the heart of Brisbane—a place where the buzz of neon-lit streets, the thrill of late-night karaoke, and the warmth of shared plates converge. Goros is more than a bar; it’s an escape into the vibrant pulse of Japan’s iconic nightlife. Here, every dish is an invitation to savour, every drink is a chance to connect, and every song is your stage.

We believe in the magic of the unexpected: spontaneous toasts with friends, wild karaoke anthems, and the charm of Tokyo’s streets brought to life right here. For our patrons, it won’t just be a night out; it’s a journey to the other side of the world, where laughter, flavour, and adventure come together.

Keeping the name and the impeccable vibes of its sister venue in Sydney, Goros Brisbane features karaoke rooms, games nights and a menu that’s as loud and fun as the music.
